>>>good evening, today, an official of the
united nations
tried to tell the world so there will be no mistake that we are living in the middle of a modern-day hitler. we are talking about
kim jong
-un, the young leader of
north korea
. and this report from the u.n. is an attempt to wake up the world so no one will ever say as they did after
world war ii
, for instance, that they didn't realize how bad it was until it was too late. this evidence is based on interviews from defectors and survivors. the u.n. said today
north korea
, quote, has no parallel in the contemporary world. it is where we begin our broadcast tonight with our chief
foreign affairs
correspondent,
andrea mitchell
.

>> reporter: north koreakim jong
-un at his father's grave, a birthday tribute. even as he's accused of nazi-had like extremities, killings, torture, imprisonment, rapes and
forced abortions
.

>>there will be no excusing a failure of action because we didn't know. we do know.

>> reporter: the survivors of the prison kept pictures to illustrate the torture and public humiliation and starvation. this man, a prisoner at camp 15 said a fellow prisoner trying to escape was dragged back to the camp behind a truck then executed for all to see. this woman, in prison for 28 years, drew pictures after she got out. she said guards would spit in their mouths. if they gagged, they would be beaten, former
human rights
watchers said many lost their minds, many searched for snakes or mice to feed their children. when women prisoners gave birth, the guards forced others to kill the baby by drowning it in water or choking it by holding a cloth or other item against its face, or putting the
baby face
down so that it can't breathe.

>>this report is really the most comprehensive documentation that we've seen of the unimaginable criticuelties of the
north koreanprison camp
. this man who defected said that today's report will bring hope to the
north korean
people. but will they ever learn from it.

>>i don't think there is a country that is sealed like
north korea
.

>> reporter: the u.n. warns that countries like china it would be guilty of aiding and abetting others. they call the charges a plot to defame and sabotage its country. advocates where china has no veto say they should take action.

>>andrea, it is hard to hear about, but the u.n. says they need the world to know.
